Lordsburs Correspondence.

OuS SulpIDeUlS dTt utlHR mute tO different localities. Gold Hill has sent several carloads away, some to Fl Paso and others to Socorro, and now carload (l1 tons) is on the depot platform that Is in- tended as sample of the Jerry Boyle group, at Shakespeare, to be sent to Beileville, III, for a thorough test, the object of which Is to ascertain whether or not it is a paying proposition to erect an extensive milling and reduction plant on the property. Dr. liar rington is here and is supervising the matter, and he says if the sample returns go S20 to the ton the works will be erected immedi- ately. This, in connection with the Mutual Standard, will make Shakespeare quite a burg and will, of course, materially aid thIs place in a commercial way.
 Various parties from California have and are still coming to do and superintend their annual mining assessments.
 Sunday night the Hon. Don Cameron of Pennsylvania passed through here in a special car, and our citizens, always alive and equal to any emergency, organ ized impromptu a committee to wait upon the distinguished Sena- tor and tender him the freedom of this, the city of the Lord. Judge Buck, accompanied by the com mittee, for whom he acted as spokesman, after introducing T. J. Kurtz as Mayor, made a most eloquent address in presenting the invitation to lay over and par take of the towns hospitality. Among the many inducements of ferred to entice him to stop over a day he was rendered an introduc- tion to and an explanation of the great Western game of stud horse poker. He was told that he would be instructed how to locate the buck and how to pass the same without breaking the game up in TOW; how enchanting it is to have an ace in the hole, when to kick" and when not to kick" that he would become proficient in the science of brokerage, discount and per cent, which perhaps would be of service to him in the "high- est deliberative body" of the land; that he could paralyze the august Senate with profound pro- positions in tinacial exchange such as the noble Senators never dreamt of in their widest flights of fancy; how happy and kindly a fellow feels towards LiG follow man when he has the cinch. And, in fact, everything pertaining to the game was laid bare, even to the ''plnching" of checks from off a high stack; how the ear is de- lighted with vocal music as ren- dered by the dealer during the play, set to words and sentences such as, "hanti-up," room for one more good player" where is the buck?" your Ugh with the deuce" five cheeks bet" 'hup to you, sir" ''you take the capeena ark ansas," "'ere we go again." and so on ad libitum. To all of which the Senator lent an attentive ear and seemed to be greatly impressed with what he had heard. He re greated that his time was taken up with previous engagements; hence declined 10 lay over, but promised that he would lay the matter be- fore .Congress when it convened and ask that committee of wis iting statesmen" be sent to en- quire into thls wonderful game that IS making so many of our Citizens wear stove pipe hats. He said everything pertaining to the sclence would be investigated, if he had to go behind the returns" to do it. QUID NUNc.
